It was on special for $415 at my range. I went today and shot 237 rounds of FMJs and HPs, both 165 and 180. Again not an issue but the trigger acted weird sometimes causing me to shoot a flyer. I get used to where the trigger breaks but sometimes the trigger breaks later thus throwing me off. It's a long trigger (like my KT PF9) and real easy to squeeze that it has some leverage. Also it only does that when I'm near the end of the mag. Like I said weird but hell, it shoots good.

I shot a 100 pack with my Sigma 9. I can tell you this gun is for keeps. :)

yes sir! I have been almost dead set on a glock 17 up until today.
I picked up a Magnum Research Baby Desert Eagle 9mm Polymer Model. Was the only one in the whole show.
This gun fits in my hands so beautifully, I love the sights and the look. And the price was right so I just couldn't pass it up.
Price - $600.00

Came with two mags (edited from clips), cleaning kit, lock, and spent casing.
I also picked up two boxes of Federal 115 grain.
Thoughts? Comments?

Great grab buddy! A work friend of mine has one chambered in .40S&W, and he loves it. I have not shot his, but held it in the hand and it felt very good indeed.

Thanks.
My buddy really wants it in a .40, i wish i could afford to buy it for him but hopefully he picks one up.
Something tells me I am going to need to get a nice backpack of ammo on the cheap :)

Good choice on the purchase! I have read about a lot of folks who have the DE 9mm and they love it. One of the best purchases I ever made regarding cleaning a firearm (pistols & rifles) was a "bore snake". It's a fabric bore cleaner that is flexible and pulls through the bore. It has brass bristles embedded in the front and a wide space of weave behind that that allows you to put some bore cleaner on the front, pull it through and completely clean the bore. They cost between $15 and $20 each (different sizes for different calibers) and the best part is when it gets a little dirty, you can put it in a diswasher or clothes washer and clean it. Just my two bits.

I've learned to take people's opinions with a big grain of salt. I always like the underdog, and that's probably why I was drawn to the bersa I had and then to my new Rossi. No respect...just reliable bang.

Thanks for the advice guys.
I really want to have a person who is well adapted with my gun to help me clean it, I feel as though I am not doing it right due the limited information, but other than that this gun has to be my most favorite out of all the guns I have shot.
This gun has versatility and reliability and to me both of those are priceless.

I am having a hard time finding a green dot sight for this gun, I am not sure what will fit? I have heard that since its a clone of the cz-75 anything that fits that will fit this but I dont know if thats true? Seems like too big of a blanket statement?
Any ideas guys n gals?
